MgrA Governs Adherence, Host Cell Interaction, and Virulence in a Murine Model of Bacteremia Due to Staphylococcus aureus
26 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MgrA is an important global virulence gene regulator in Staphylococcus aureus. In the present study, the role of mgrA in host-pathogen interactions related to virulence was explored in both methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) strains. METHODS: In vitro susceptibilities to human defense peptides (HDPs), adherence to fibronectin (Fn) and endothelial cells...
